They look healthy and happy! What type of lights do you have? How many watts? They look like they could def. use some more lighting!

Looks like they need allot more light,unless you wanna have a yield of 50gr.why dont u use a 400w hps(or 600watt)and do u have a fan for air circulation placed on the lower section of the stem?if those stems dont gain more weight they wont be able to carry the flowers during blooming.then again im lookin at the pics using my mobile so my eyes can deceive me.

Just my 2 cents.

You're only running a little over 18 watts psf. You need at least 50 watts psf.

I love your T5 for veggin, but only for vegging. Your plants stretch a little to much (but thats my opinion) I think you should at least buy a 250 W Hps, but i recommend using 400 W Hps as minimum. It all depends on how much electricity you are willing to use, you can yield HUGE buds with just 400-600 W. I had some BubbleGum the size of 1liter juice boxes. But i gotta say they do look healthy and the pics are nice, so just keep on trucking. Dont misunderstand me, your doing a great job bro, but consider a upgreat, you could make some dank shit looks like just need the proper light.

You can grow som good bud with florecent tubes but you need more wattage. The above picture is a homade t-8 rack that has 18 ea. 36 watt tubes for a total of 576 watts in a 2' x 4' cab.

That's funny, I shop at Worms Way too! I hate that place though because of how expensive they are. Sometimes if I have too many plants, instead of throwing them out, I'll put them under some T5's. It doesn't compare to the HPS light, but you still get some but that's pretty decent out of it. Good luck with your grow!

bravo for a first timer! they look healthy.
i'll start off by saying any and all
advice is a form of nostalgia
dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal
wiping it off painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.
so take the following with that in mind
four weeks left till what?
until they are done flowering?
i am going to go out on a limb here and guess that those
are bagseed?
i am also going to guess that bagseed has a good chance
of being an equatorial sativa.
i am assuming this because of the long internodal distance and
overall look of your plants.
these types of plants from what i have seen perform well under the relative low light conditions you have under those T-5s.
but as for 4 weeks left i think maybe double
triple that easy before they are ready.
next time strip entire lower 1/3 of plant
anything that far under the canopy is not gonna be what you are after anyway.
other than that keep on doing what you are doing.
seems to be working well.
